Editorial Reviews
“Fitzpatrick’s excellent first novel movingly captures the intensity of
first love, the corrupting forces of power, and the losses suffered by
innocent victims caught in a web of political deceit. As the lines
between villains and heroes shift, readers will be reminded how
‘right’ and ‘wrong’ choices are rarely crystal clear.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“The characters are dynamic and realistic. Strong narrative pacing adds
to the whole sun-kissed package, which is on par with authors such as
Sarah Dessen and Deb Caletti.” —School Library Journal
“An almost perfect summer romance…[that] will have every girl who reads the novel wishing for a Jase of her own.” —Kirkus Reviews
